'SNL' Review: Not A Belieber

by | February 11th, 2013

It's not easy to reconcile my preferences for the alternative comedy scene that this site represents and my admiration for an eternally mainstream show like SNL. I want a lineup of weird, dark premises and sketches that establish clear games… and then intentionally subvert them. I want sketches to end with Mr. Show-like transitions, with a character leaving the room and walking onto a new set, where a new sketch begins, and throwaway jokes from earlier sketches to reappear later, like Kroll Show is doing. I want an episode where Nick Offerman hosts, Garfunkel and Oates is the musical guest, Danny Pudi sits silently in the background of every sketch, [...]

SNL Recap: We're Also Sorry You’re Not Perfect, Miley Cyrus

by | March 7th, 2011

Typically one can categorize a guest host’s overall contribution to an episode of SNL in one of two ways. The good ones — Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin — are beneficial to the show; their comedic skills complement those of the creative staff to produce a fun and memorable experience. The lousy ones — Donald Trump, Lindsay Lohan, Robert DeNiro from earlier this season — have a neutral effect; they’re difficult to work with and bring little the table, but at least they don’t get in the way too much.

To the fairer SNL viewer, while the host’s performance plays a large role in our overall enjoyment of [...]

Miley Cyrus Leads CBS to Weekly Ratings Victory Over NBC's Thursday Comedies

by | October 19th, 2012

It's tradition at this point for CBS's one-two punch of The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men  to trounce NBC's chunk of Thursday night sitcoms in the ratings, but this week, CBS had a little help from Miley Cyrus. According to TV By the Numbers, Big Bang scored a 4.7 rating with adults 18-49, up 4% from last week, and Two and a Half Men earned a 4.0, up 14% from last week thanks to a guest spot by Miley Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus Angers God In New Blasphemy Comedy

by | August 2nd, 2011

The Hollywood Reporter has deets about a Miley Cyrus' God-themed comedy, which, provided they go all Book of Job with it, could be pretty cool. Few details about the the high-concept comedy, which Cyrus will produce and star in, are available, though "it is understood to involve a broken promise to God." For example, a promise like "don't get filmed ripping bong hits" or "cut your damn hair more than once every seven years. Seriously, look at yourself in the mirror. It looks like a Wookie pelt."

Miley Cyrus to Host SNL on March 5th

by | February 11th, 2011

Looks like Vanessa Bayer's Miley Cyrus show is going to be getting a new guest: the real Miley Cyrus, who's hosting SNL on March 5th. She's not pulling double-duty, however; there will be a separate, to-be-announced musical guest. That's pretty cool, etc. [via]
